You will love this upgrade! I put mine behind the drivers side gill vent for easy access (a great option for our years, my MSD box is in the passenger gill vent) and it's basically hidden.

Its pretty much a hydra boost that uses a eletric motor instead of the power steering pump.
I dont have power steering so no power steering pump.
Also there is just a master cylinder NO vac booster or hydra booster you can hide the pump and accumilator makes a nice clean installation .

Why do some people change to hydra boost because the stock vac system is not enough for them.
In my case I have manual brakes and steering so no hydra boost and installing that big vac booster in a manual brake car is not a easy thing.
So I found this eletric booster easier and cleaner in my case plus 1800 to 2000ish psi should stop the car pretty good.

It really cleans up the engine bay too with the booster gone. I was also able to use a valve cover that didnt have a dimple for the vacuum booster to clear. Since I don't have power steering a single belt serpentine system from MillerSpeed keeps it very simple and clean looking. It's a personal choice but I love it.
